Robes gently fall over folded legs as his posture dissolves into the void, teaching without words the deep vow of presence and clarity. Monochrome photographic portrait of Japanese Zen master Kodo Sawaki in deep zazen meditation posture, traditional Buddhist robe draped in folds; gelatin silver print, Japan, early 20th century; photographer unknown.

Your artwork has been meticulously curated from rare, vintage, sacred, and historical archives and museum collections from around the world, with the intention to bring healing, inspiration, beauty, and strength into your life.
Each piece is available in three universal standard print sizes designed for easy framing and display:
Each print is produced on Master's Edition archival paper, an FSC®-certified, off-white, matte, museum-quality stock that ensures refined texture and lasting colour integrity.
Each print undergoes a digital restoration process to ensure colour fidelity and authenticity to the original while preserving natural patina, texture, and visible traces of time.
Your artwork is securely packaged and shipped in either a recyclable cardboard box or a protective tube, depending on print size and regional fulfilment centre, using recycled materials where possible.
Standard delivery only — no express shipping — to help lower carbon impact.
